... breakfast and took us all around the city again and this time to the place where they make amazing ceramic pieces. They give you the whole tour of how they make them, paint them, put them together. They had huge tables that were 3000$ which I&#8217;m sure would go for 8000$ in the US. Too bad I   A. don&#8217;t have money and B. don&#8217;t have a home because there was so much stuff !<br><br>  It was funny walking the streets...they just shout OBAMA! ! They seem to like ...

(in no particular order). 1. The people: They are friendly, kind and genuinely seem very happy. The children are totally adorable. 2. The food: Harira, lamb tagine, seafood, almond cookies, olives in every size and shape, fresh fruit, dates, apricots, freshly squeezed orange juice, berries ...

... basement are an ablution room and a large hammam (bathhouse). The plaza out front, which is dominated by a very tall minaret, Can accommodate thousands more for religious events. If you're interested in the history and culture of Jews in Morocco, take time to visit the Musee du Judaisme Marocain. Its exhibits document the religious and artistic traditions of local Jewish communities. The museum is in the oasis quarter, east of the city center. The beach suburb of Ain ...

... from the air. Why don't we use this in the South...I don't know because the rooms really were noticeably less humid. After visiting the Mosque we went to a pharmacy that sold over six hundred spices and treatments for everything imaginable under the sun. I purchased a musk stick that is like perfume that you rub on your body. The cool thing about it though is that it smells noticeably different on every person. Its honestly kind of eerie how the same ...

Our last day in Casablanca... today we visited the Hassan II mosque - the 3rd largest mosque in the world.. allows for some 120,000 worshippers at once and has a retractable roof which opens in 3 minutes. The roof at Melbourne Park doesn't hold a candle to this one :) Finished the day by meeting the tour group. Tour leader is Jamal.. and has taken to calling all of us "his special habibis" (which means my ...

... nature - even to be naturally cooling during warm times and warming during cold times. It was not spectacular after having seen the Alhambra, but it was interesting to see the floors, walls, ceilings, and windows with color still on them (as that had faded off at the Alhambra). As I predicted, the effect (to me) was dizzying and overwhelming at points. From the palace, we went to lunch at a Moroccan restaurant. It was an experience - we entered up a ...

... for a quick coffee... I chatted for a bit then it was time to hop on the tram and make my way to the airport... It was goodbye to Gem who has been an awesome traveling buddy &amp; who i will definitely keep in touch with. The tram went a different way this time and i started to panic but it eventually came back to the normal line (it was packed too). The train was on time so i swapped over to that and had ...

To start, let me clarify, that i had booked the holiday soon after my return from my christmas holiday, and so, annoyed people endlessly for seven weeks by reminding them that i was off to warmer weather, and providing them with a daily-updated countdown of 'how many days to go?!' ....am sure a good proportion of Bergerac (both its natives and etrangeres) were pleased when i finally did pack up and go! Managed to score a free ...

... in what I would have called white robes - but is called gandora - talking so loud so the whole room echoed and the police men were on the move. I didn't really get it what was going on. And then us, the few people who had come in the plane form London had our luggage in hand, the police officers pushed away the people in white robes to make a path for us Westerners.<br><br>Once I got out of that crowded room I found my way to where the train was but first I needed ...
